Triple Cream consists of Dave,
Brian, and Harvey.
They began their careers as professional musicians working
throughout the UK in various venues from clubs to
theatres, and were in great demand as session musicians,
working on many albums for various artists. They have
also performed music for TV advertisements and radio jingles.
In the early 80's Triple Cream moved into
musical parodies and stand up comedy and realized
they had good comic timing and a great rapport with an
audience. In the mid 80s they were runners-up on
BBC TV's 'Opportunity Knocks' and
then secured a six week series guest spot for
London Weekend Television.
In 1989 the line-up changed when Dave and Brian where joined
by Harvey and performed on the BBC TV's,
Generation Game to great acclaim. In 1994
they spent the whole year working in
Bermuda and were invited to work in
New York U.S.A. and were a big hit with the
audience. Since then they have gone from strength to strength,
and are constantly complimented on their originality,
ad-libbing and professionalism.

Dave
Dave was born in Rochford Essex. He began to show an interest
in music from an early age and started working as a keyboard
player, working professionally in music and entertainment from
the age of 15. He then worked with various musicians and
entertainers, and in the early part of 1976 formed the
beginnings of Triple Cream. It was in the later part of that
year whilst at music college that Dave met Brian.
At this time Dave was also in demand as a music arranger and
writer, and produced music for many acts and artists. Since
the development of the comedy act, Dave has continued to grow,
in the role as the straight man, but has his own off the wall
sense of humour; Dave tends to spend most of his time keeping
the other two under control!
In January 1993 Dave appeared in
BBC TVs ‘Eastenders’ playing
piano in the ‘Queen Vic’. Other instruments Dave
plays are trumpet and drums.
Brian
Brian was born in Edgware, London. He was influenced from an
early age by his father who was a comedy stage performer in
the 40s and 50s. He learned the basics of percussion in one of
the country’s top marching youth bands and has since
taught drums and percussion in schools and music workshops.
Brian met Dave at music college and turned professional. He
worked as a session drummer and singer (both lead and backing
vocals) for many top names. Brian has also performed on TV and
radio doing adverts and soundtracks.
Brian has a strong flair for comedy, and is a master of
audience participation and tends to play the role of the
likeable slightly silly one of the trio.
Brian is also an accomplished magician, and is a member of the
‘International
Brotherhood
of Magicians’ and has worked in the
past with such names as Tommy Cooper and
Paul Daniels. Yes, Brian can perform
minor miracles in front of your very eyes!
Harvey
Born in Thundersley, Essex. Harvey learned to play the piano
from the age of 5 & has been involved in music ever since.
His first band was called DV8, which he formed when he was 15
years old while attending Southend High School for Boys. At
this time, he was also singing in the world-renowned
“Southend Boys’ Choir”, soloing on BBC
television & appearing at prestigious venues such as the
Royal Albert Hall & also performing
abroad. .
After leaving school Harvey then had various
“normal” jobs until he turned professional,
joining his first band “China Blue” in 1987 before
moving on to “Triple Cream” in 1989.
He has since appeared again on BBC TV and,
most recently, in comedy sketches on
ITV1’s show “The
Warehouse”.
As the “cheeky monkey” he is an integral part of
the comedy show & is always a hit with the audience. His
other musical talents include guitar, bass, saxophone, trumpet
& oboe.
